What problem does it solve?

Define the exact docking/search box for a protein binding site so downstream docking and docking-box-dependent workflows operate in the correct coordinate frame.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Docking box generation in Angstroms: Computes standardized box center coordinates and box dimensions (size_x/size_y/size_z) that other drug-discovery skills can directly consume.
  • Multiple input modes: Supports defining the box from a co-crystal ligand (recommended), from known binding-site residues, or by reloading a previously generated JSON specification.
  • Practical validation hooks: Encourages sanity-checking pocket coverage and includes an optional visualization step to confirm the box overlays the intended pocket.

Quick Start

Use the skill to compute a docking box from your co-crystal ligand file by providing the ligand coordinates and choosing padding and minimum box size for Angstrom units.
